This is added after ten answers have been posted - would it make a difference if the tutoring is already paid for by tax dollars and the students are college students?

Make them put down a refundable deposit. $10 or something like that. They get it back when they turn up on time!
Follow-up:
You have now said that the tutoring is already paid for - which means the tutor is being paid whether or not the student turns up. In that case, the student is in fact defrauding the tax payer (but when was that ever something that is attended to?) so one has to view it as the student his- or herself being the one who loses out - they don't get the tutoring.

I actually worked for a tutoring company, and they would still charge the parents if it wasn't at least a two days notice, so if the kid just decided to skip, they would still have to pay... and also, as a tutor you have special privileges to speak with the teacher or parent, what you can do is email or leave a message for the teacher. Ask them how the student is doing in class because they have been missing sessions, also, see if the teacher can bring it up to the student that she is aware the student is not going to tutoring.

If you're teaching at the college level, hit them in their pride. Remind them that they're supposed to be adults now, and adults honor their commitments. If they miss 3x without calling to cancel, don't take any more appointments from them, and make sure they know that you won't. If you're their teacher and not just a tutor, then dock their grades 5 pts for every missed appointment (without a call to cancel, that is, and a valid reason).

Charge their parents a substantial fee for missed sessions. You should be paid well for tutoring students anyway, and if their folks get hit, they'll bring down the hammer....

If you offer tutoring than your doing your part, if they sign up and than don't come tell them their grades well fall and if they are in high school their class rank well suffer. Contact their parents if those things don't work than stop trying, teachers already have enough things to do.

with the aid of your movements of being respective to the instructor your friends will the two % to carry on with your occasion and admire the instructor or no longer it extremely is not something you may regulate. you apart from would could think approximately that for the time of the present climate instructors at school and better practise are encouraging concepts-set with their pupils to be extra casual as quickly as this gets out of hand the teachers then tries to revert to a extra respectful instructor pupil dating. the final you're able to do is shop on being respectful to the instructor this could optimistically shame the different pupils into recuperating their behaviour.

Extra credit.....not too much extra points but something fair. For effort and for obviously trying to do better than they were.
